9. Configure basic network connectivity settings following the procedures
outlined in the Cisco Global Site Selector Getting Started Guide, Chapter 3,
Setting Up Your GSS. Ensure that you specify the same hostname and IP
address of the original primary GSSM.
Save your configuration changes to memory.
gssm1.example.com# copy running-config startup-config
10. Enter the gss enable gssm-primary command to configure the GSS device
as the replacement primary GSSM in the GSS network.
gssm1.example.com# gss enable gssm-primary
Note To allow time for proper GSS device synchronization, ensure that an
interval of one minute or greater has passed since entering the gssm
primary-to-standby command before you enter the gss enable
gssm-primary command.
Configuration changes do not take effect immediately. It can sometimes take
up to ten minutes for the other GSS devices in the network to learn about the
new primary GSSM.
11. Determine if you have a full backup of the interim primary GSSM database
that you can restore on the new primary GSSM.
• If yes, restore the interim primary GSSM database. Refer to the
“Restoring a Primary GSSM Backup” section in Chapter 7, Backing Up
and Restoring the GSSM. You can now use the replacement primary
GSSM in your GSS network.
• If no, determine if you have a backup of the original primary GSSM
database.
– If yes, restore the original primary GSSM database. Refer to the
“Restoring a Primary GSSM Backup” section in Chapter 7, Backing
Up and Restoring the GSSM. Verify the existing global server
load-balancing configuration settings (DNS rules and keepalives) and
modify the settings as described in the Cisco Global Site Selector
Global Server Load-Balancing Configuration Guide. You can now
use the replacement primary GSSM in your GSS network.
– If no, proceed to step 12.
